Nice, Xbox 360 is only 175 watts.

Now just get X to the Z to drop a 42inch flat screen in you backseat.

Or a bubble machine.

I took pictures, and was planning on making a DIY but my camera didnt save any pics i took idk whats the matter with it.

Sorry.

If you trust yourself with wiring stuff you should be set.

I just bought a power inverter with the removable outlets and extended the wires on the outlets and switch and mounted the inverter behind the dash.

Can you try taking a few photos of what you did and do some sort of DIY? I would enjoy a mod like this! Thanks in advance

anything will drain your battery if you use it while the engine is not running. it will have no problem while the car is running, esepcially if you are driving. but it wouldnt hurt if you had an upgraded battery.
